Meow that’s how you do a platinum.

@KundaliniRising333 I would not personally call the changes to Tess’ model as modest. The new model is a huge leap in fidelity over the original version.

“Completely rebuilt from the ground up for the PS5”

If the above line from Druckmann is true, new assets make this 100% a remake and not a remaster. It’s not reusing the original’s assets and just increasing the resolution or bumping up the framerate. That would make it a remaster.

This remake appears to go further than just visuals though with supposedly the reimagining of familiar places, redone combat, improved enemy AI, more modernized gameplay, etc.

I mean, these are all on official blogpost. If you think it’s all BS and they are just making these features up, then it’s probably safe to say they will receive quite a bit of criticism for that when the game releases.

Seems like it would be silly to do that though when the game is out soon, not next month actually, but in September.

@zhoont I think that was Project Eve. I’m waiting to hear more about that one also. Looks like an action game in the style of Devil May Cry or Bayonetta.

1. God of War: Ragnarok
2. The Callisto Protocol
3. The Last of Us: Part I
4. Little Devil Inside
5. Crisis Core: FFVII Reunion

Eh, I’m cool with my QN90A.

But I’ll check out reviews.

So awesome that this classic has trophy support. I’ll definitely get to it eventually.

Hopefully Factions 2 can be added to that list for 2023, but I’m not too optimistic since the first reveal is scheduled for sometime next year.

I’ll get around to this game one day. The backlog is real, but it does seem right up my alley.

The Last of Us Remake is a day 1 purchase. My September is decided gaming-wise.

If Ragnarok makes 2022 it will have been a phenomenal year for Sony with Horizon II, GT7, Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves collection, TLoU remake, and Ragnarok all in the same year.

Not to mention other console exclusives like Sifu, Stray, and Forspoken.

Can’t wait to go through Grounded mode again for the remake. Desperation and tense encounters await.

@pyrrhic_victory I think that one was Pragmata.

The Callisto Protocol took the crown for me, only because I wasn’t expecting it to look so good.

I guess I already anticipated SFVI and FFXVI to impress.

@pyrrhic_victory I believe that was Jim Ryan’s stance on first-party games, which Stray is not.

The animations look so fluid! Genuinely impressed here with what they’re doing.

Oh yeah, this is a day one type of game for me. I love alien horror and the production values look insane.

I’m actually surprised with how good it was. There were alot less VR titles than I thought.

RE4 remake, Village VR, and SF VI from Capcom all look great.

Stray is as charming as ever, nice to get a release date.

FFXVI looks really good! I’m impressed with far its come along since its debut.

Spiderman is a nice get for PC players.

But imo The Callisto Protocol stole the show! Holy crap did that look good. A true successor to Dead Space. Some of those alien designs were beautifully grotesque. This game has shot up my most anticipated list now, and it’s out this year!

I’m expecting third-party and PSVR 2, just like was told.

Anything else will be a welcome bonus if it shows up.

Please have trophy support for Abe’s Odyssey. That would be amazing.

It’s not that I necessarily need them to play classics per se.

I would probably do a quick playthrough or spend a few hours on each title as a nostalgia trip even if they didn’t have trophies.

But I do think they need to have trophies if I’m going to be engaged with the Classics section longer than just an initial playthrough.

Without trophies I will probably sub to the Premium tier for only one month and get my fill of the classics. With trophies attached to the classics, I will likely keep the Premium tier subscription for longer periods of time.

This is just for me personally. I do like trophies and I hope they are added to alot of the classics.

Premium it is! Those PS1 classic trophies will be mine.

@Shepherd_Tallon Did you hear GrimGrimoire remastered is releasing in Japan? Hopefully it comes out elsewhere eventually.

@PoeticJustice

That’s fair. I bought Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart at launch day and was pretty surprised with the amount of bugs I encountered for a first-party game. But it’s in a good state now.

I guess when you pump games out as quickly as Insomniac can, you get a bit of a pass on that.

@PoeticJustice

Insomniac excel at productivity and they make really great games. I’d also say they are probably more diverse/versatile at this point than Naughty Dog.

But Naughty Dog is still unmatched in regard to attention to detail and level of polish among PlayStation studios.

I love remakes. The more the merrier.

Last one I played was Demon’s Souls and it was incredible.

The Binding of Isaac: Repentance not in the top 20?

A travesty I say!

Well deserved and a very big congratulations to Housemarque. I recently got the new trophies for the Ascension DLC and was reminded of why this game is so special.

More of a symbolic loss than an actual one.

Day 1 and this will be my first VR headset. Looks like it’s going to be the perfect compliment to the PS5.

Very happy about Slay the Spire. I’ve been wanting to try that one.

An extra milly? I’ll take it!

10/10! But I wish it had a bit more microtransactions in it.

Also, I would have liked it if it checked to make sure I was online after every activity completed instead of just at the start.

Sony must really like what they see to make an acquisition before the studios first game releases.

It’s usually a much longer courting process with multiple game releases first.

Yeah I had a feeling when they showed extended gameplay. The combat looked like it could get boring quickly and unfortunately that was the whole appeal of the game for me.

Might just check it out for a steep discount in the future.

@Titntin I’ll give it a shot! Haven’t tried the gyro steering yet. Is it precise enough to compete?

It’s an amazing racing game, and I am continually impressed with it. The outage for over 24 hours sucked no doubt, but that is realistically a blip on the radar of a game that I will be playing for years.

Having a blast so far on the dualsense, but I really can’t wait to get my wheel!

Gran Turismo 7 - best racing game I’ve ever played. I’m going for the gold in all the license tests and having a ton of fun.

God of War - feel like I’m nearing the end with Midgard 80% complete of collectibles. Very rarely is a world this fun to explore.

Happy gaming everyone.

Playing some God of War at the Muspelheim trials and enjoying the challenge.

Returnal coop and new content. That is all.

10/10

Cannot wait! I’m buying the Fanatec set for GT7.

@mrtennis1990 Cowboy Bebop is my favorite anime. It’s only one season long, well worth checking out.

Just GT7 for me. I was pretty underwhelmed by the in-depth gameplay coverage for Ghostwire: Tokyo.

This is an excellent summary of the first game. I thought it was one of the better sci-fi stories I’d come across in a long time. Can’t wait to play Forbidden West tomorrow!

21 Hours to go!

I’ll wait for a full analysis to see if this is a worthwhile PS5 edition.

I’ll give them all a shot, why not?

The only player I’m sure it’s not is Microsoft, with their enormous ActiBlizz deal still pending scrutinization from the FTC.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s Tencent or Embracer or one of those.

Jim Ryan said to expect more acquisitions, but I’m not sure if there will be another announced so closely with Bungie.

Let the GT7 hype commence!

Horizon: Forbidden West and Gran Turismo 7 are essential PlayStation titles.

I’ll probably pick up Elden Ring shortly after release as well, after I’m done with Forbidden West.

Eh, the gameplay is not impressing me that much to be honest. Having just wrapped up the Demon’s Souls remake late last year, I’m getting some heavy been-there-done-that vibes. It looks like an open-world Demon’s Souls.

I’m sure it’s going to be great like all Fromsoft games, but it’s not grabbing me like previous entries have. The horse skipping in the air and able to jump off cliffs is pretty cool though.
